Google Chrome is available now, here. If you haven’t heard of it – Chrome is Google’s new browser project. It’s based on WebKit, giving it some similarity to Apple’s Windows version of Safari. I don’t really understand why Apple wanted Safari for Windows, and I don’t really understand where Google is going with Chrome. But […]
This is some good soup.
I did a bit more tweaking of the Recipes site for the iPhone this evening. It basically came down to using the iPhone CSS on a few more pages, which makes the text big enough to read on the iPhone. I ran into a problem with setting the background for the <pre> tag using CSS. […]
Yeah, that’s what my PS3 says when I put a PS2 game in. I got it for Christmas and didn’t realize I got the version that couldn’t play PS2 games. So I bought a PS2 game. And I can’t play it. Bummer.
This is a bit of a strange move. I’m watching TomTom to see when they come out with a GPS that has a better screen, since that’s my main complaint with their current hardware, and instead they come out with this. These two “new” devices are the old devices with a new sleeve and some […]
As I mentioned a few days back, my current GPS is now a Garmin Nuvi 760. Here are a few bullet points on my experiences with it. It’s bright. No problem reading the screen in full daylight – this was my complaint with the TomTom. The mount is solid. More solid than the Mio mount. […]
I’m linking to Steve Yegge’s rant on requirements because it’s a great read. I absolutely agree that writing software for yourself makes for better software. If you’re not using it, you’re going to not notice the little details that make the thing awkward to use on a day-to-day basis. It’s easy to get caught up […]
My bad day yesterday is continuing into today. The good news is that it seems like the power supply was the problem. I picked up an Antec Earthmate 500 watt power supply and installed it, and my memory errors went away. The hard part has been getting Windows Home Server back on its feet. The […]
Geocaching gone horribly wrong. Check this out. Given the nature of geocaching – hiding interesting looking things in unexpected places – I wonder how often this has happened. I’m sure it’s not the first time. (I’m still waiting for a good geocaching app for the iPhone – the only one so far is Geopher and […]
One of the big differences between the Nuvi 760 and 780 is MSN Direct traffic information. The 780 is expensive, but Costco had the 680 on sale for $349, and that includes MSN Direct, so I picked one up to try it out. For me it was the 680 or the 760, so the decision […]
